An Arkansas court recently rendered

They have no law against watered
milk in Buffalo, n. Y. That's why
Buffalo miikman is able to get even
with customer who palmed off gal
vanized nickel on him for five dollar
gold piece. The nickel was gold-plated
and when the milkman detected the
fraud he took it back to the woman who
passed it on him, but she refused to
make it good. Now he every day
makes her milk onefOurth water and
credits her with One-fOurth of her milk
bill. He says when the sum total stand
ing to her credit is 1876 she shall have
pure milk once more, and not until
then. She knows the milk is watered
but whenever she complains the milk
man hands her the nickel and says ''my
milk is as pure as gold" That set
ties it.

You have to go away from home to

that Minnesota is prOnOuncedly in favor
of protection" and adds: 1T may be
imagined, therefore, in what spirit
CLEVELAND's message was received
and what its effect will be-" Mr.JoHN-
sToN will have to come back home and
read I'D on the platforms adopted by
both the Republicans and Democrats
of this state. Mr.. GILFHLAN was the

who Undertook to advocate protection.

Col. PETER DOMAIN was not lost in
London, as popularity supposed. After
long and mysterious disappearance,
he has turned up in New York, and is
still laboring away at his old trade of
writing interviews with himself. He
gives it out that he has shaken Dakota
dust from his moccaSinS forever, but
that doesn't discourage him from giving
his opinions on Dakota affairs. He de-
nounces the 1.-TWO state movement as
absurd, pernicious and criminal, and
declares that Dakota's only chance for
admission is as whole. 1t is gratify-
ing to observe that the pyrOtechnic Col.
PETER has returned from his tour
around the continent with the Southern
bellies with such a level head Oh his
shoulders. There isn't another man in
America that could have done it.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22-Citizens of
this district feel under obligations to
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, for in
Producing bill for q rapid transit rail-
way company. The present facilities
for traversing the city are inadequate
and insufficient. Senator Spooner takes
great interest in affairs here and the
improvement of the capital. The rail!
way IS to be elevated, and operated
either by cable or electric device. Mr..
Macdonald, of Minnesota, warmly
favorS the scheme, and all the WiScon-
sin congressman indOrse it. The proba-
bilities are that the bill will become a
law. The Objectionable features of the
former bill have been pruned off.
Congressman Rice has several private
bills which he will introduce after the
holiday recess, having been delayed in
the matter by the chaotic condition of
the house to the present time. The Or
ganization will be completed by the an
nOuncement of committees by the
speaker as soon as congress reaSSembleS,
and bills may then be properly and
prOfitably introduced.

that Lamar will not be confirmed. If

lieved he would accept and leave Villas

lease by him is surprising to all. The

Miss Murphy has arrived to spend
the winter with Mrs. Senator Sabin and

1t is announced to-day that the

and she is not expected to be out very
soon, nor to take any part in social at
fairs. 1t is added that she is not dan
gerously ill, but yet wholly incapaci-

Hon. Thomas Wilson is the only Min

The Cause of 1t.

The Duluth News has the following to
say regarding the present low price of
wheat: THE light export demand for
wheat is not surprising when we read of
the extraordinary success which has at
tended wheat raising in Europe this sea-
son. Austria's yield is II per cent above
the average; Hungary, "a per cent

Italy, 90 These countries, instead of be.
ing buyers, as usual, are sellers this sea
son. Austro Hungary alone will export
$4,000, 900 bushels of wheat. Under these
circumstances 1t would appear that moth.
ing short of general European war will
advance the price Of wheat. 1t is the
general feeling that very dull season in
wheat is to be experienced.

that justice shall be paramount, but it is
also highly proper that the people shall
be satisfied that the right is rightly done.
Otherwise, discomfort and lack of respect
for The law may grow up SO that they
may greatly impair its force and conduce
to its disregard. Much of discomfort ex-
lists in your district. This is evidenced
by the many complaints on the files of

her health has improved greatly. DR..
Harcourt is candidate for commissioner

now, I suppose. If you are ever able to

The Case WellPut.

The Pioneer Press says that the case is
well put when it is stated that Dakota
has one-sixth the area and one-sixth the
population contained IN the United States
of America when the revolutionary war
was fought and national independence
achieved and formed the nucleus of the
greatest nation and the best government
on the face Of the globe; and yet Dakota
is only considered an outlying common
upon which the discarded political fungi
and carpet-bag pilgrims arc sent to
forage. Dakota has nearly half as large
an area as the entire original thirteen
states, whose aggregate representation in
the national congress consisted of twenty
six senators and sixty FIVE representatives !;
and yet one delegate without vote is
considered representation enough for Da-
kota IN the national assembly

A Strange Coincidence.

Iii the issue of the RECORD for Sept: 16
occurred an editorial beginning 1T
does not seem wonderful that Dakota's S
population has increased in half decade
from few thousand to over a half
Million In recent issue of the Wash
burn Mail, strange to relate, appears an
editorial word for word identical with
the RECORD paragraph. This goes to
show what uniformity of feeling,
thought--and diction--exists among the
rural scribes of the Missouri Slope, It's
only bad feature is that some wicked edi,
torial brother may be led to suggest that
both ths Times and RECORD stole the edi.
torial from the sumo exchange.
